From the article:

“Addressing my tweet from 2021. The Girls Spot operates as a female-only gym for biological women, tackling harassment, sexual assault & violence that women face inside the gym. The tweet circling was made 4 years ago and I was in the very early stages of creating a concept.”

Show me the stats that suggest that trans women are sexually assaulting women anywhere. It’s not a fucking thing. What a piece of shit. It just goes to show that people drop their support for us as soon as it becomes inconvenient to them. I could count on one hand the people in my life that still support my right to exist.

I fucking hate every single person who is abandoning my fellow trans folx right now. Those dipshits clearly are forgetting the rest of what Martin Niemöller’s infamous quote. “Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me”. Hope everyone who is abandoning us get what they fucking deserve

I’m not trans, but it pains me to see people treating other people like subhumans just because they prefer to identify with a gender that doesn’t match their sex

“Creating a concept”

The most obnoxious thing about idiots is that, being idiots, they also think their cliches are original.

Not directly in your life, but you still need to know that you are valid! Coming from someone who is afraid that I will be hearing more of that in the future, we need to stand together. It’s sickening. And it shouldn’t be this way.
